Local security solutions provider J2 Software has warned that laptop theft is on the increase. It claims that one in every 10 laptops sold each year is reported lost or stolen. The company has introduced a solution that protects computers and laptops from unauthorised access and also offers free global theft cover.
The T3 SecurityKey is a security device that ensures instant lockdown, data encryption and covers one against theft, anywhere in the world.
J2 Software managing director John Mc Loughlin says in today's hi-tech environment, home users and businesses need to protect their computer assets and the information they carry. “It is essential that security measures be taken in order to avoid associated costly losses, including asset investment, time, revenue, and irreplaceable sensitive information.”
The T3 SecurityKey ensures that unauthorised users cannot access one's PC or laptop to view, copy or modify confidential information. With passwords not being a real deterrent, a simple solution such as the T3 SecurityKey adds another layer of protection to keep the unwanted users at bay.
J2 Software has also introduced the T3Pro for businesses, it is an easy-to-use, multi-user based security solution to manage, control and secure access to PCs and laptops and also prevents unauthorised access to user data. It is all centrally administered by a Web console.
The T3Pro SecurityKey multi-user is designed to allow administrators to centrally deploy these security keys to multiple users within the network. Once the T3Pro Web console is installed, the administrator needs to decide on a user database source, either through Active Directory or by using T3Pro's own database. Where organisations already have a domain controller with all the groups and user accounts created, the T3Pro system can import this information - simplifying the account creation process.
The T3 SecurityKey and T3Pro both come standard with global theft cover up to a maximum value equivalent of US$1 500 (about R12 000). This means that in the event where one's PC or laptop is stolen, the thief will not be able to access the machine or data and one is covered financially.
The T3 SecurityKey and T3Pro are available through selected technology retailers and partners. For more information, visit www.t3southafrica.co.za or e-mail john@t3southafrica.co.za.
